    I'm 16 and i need to get emancipated

    It cannot be done without going to court, and most likely without a lawyer, and most likely without already having a job and your own place and the means to show that you will be successful in supporting yourself. You will also need a very good documented reason. You can't just go into court...

    Child support

    The is not correct. The age of majority for child support obligation in New York is 21, not 18. It's also not unusual for the court to order a share of college expenses AND child support. OP, does your order address college expenses?

    Will my parents gain any rights to my daughter?

    I saw your post on the other site, and won't rehash it. Does your daughter frequently spend the night there? How about the 3 year old? You really ought to be enforcing your visitation, as well. By not doing so, it appears that you are uninterested parents. You also ought to pay the child...

    does name change = adoption?

    Service by publication is used when the location and whereabouts of the other party are unknown. If your husband had retained an attorney after he lost his visitation, he may have had it changed. Were his parental rights terminated as well? A change in name is not the same as a step-parent...

    Do we have to add the Landlord to our Renter's Insurance?

    I agree with mightymoose, but I also think there might be some value to a liability policy. In the event that the renter caused damage to the dwelling, he could be responsible for repair. If the damage was extensive, it could be quite costly. I'm assuming that the landlord or his insurance...

    Good catch, Bay! Apparently the crimes against a minor info on the other thread was overlooked, huh? :rolleyes: Catie, go back and read your other thread. Your brother may end up in a world of trouble.

    17 y/o Pregnant, automatic emanicpation..

    No, that would still be 18 years of age. Her mom still has the right to make those decisions for her. Your brother is correct that the mom can make trouble if her daughter moves in with your family. Can you imagine pregnant 14 or 15 year olds being allowed to make decisions like that simply...

    what are my rights as mom?

    Not really. He can file without an attorney. There are court costs, but if he's indigent, he may be able to get those waived. Hm... I can't think of one. Sorry. Also, worst case scenario, if you move and he has no way of finding you, then he can't serve you if/when he files. In that case...

    what are my rights as mom?

    Well, if he wants to file for visitation, he can. He can also object to any move out of state if he files. He could prevail. However, until he does file, there's nothing he can do. Only you can decide if he might follow through.

    Joint Custody question

    She can agree to joint custody, but your son will still pay child support if she's on state assistance. Choosing to close the CSEA case will absolutely result in loss of daycare assistance and other benefits. It shouldn't affect any federal financial aid she's receiving. BTW, in most states...

    what are my rights as mom?

    Are there any orders regarding custody or visitation? If not, then moving should not be a problem. If your ex wants to fight the move, he can try. However, it doesn't sound like he would have the time or desire to bother. Good Luck!
